About the project

A prototype plugin for Unreal Engine 5.7: a spot light whose shadows are ray traced in a plain compute shader, with no hardware DXR. One hard shadow ray per lit pixel is traced against a two-level BVH built from the light's own shadow casters.

Useful for
  • Build a project with the plugin and place an SWRT Spot Light to compare shadows against an engine spot light
  • Enable r.SWRTSpotLight.Debug to measure BVH node visits and lane waste per frame
  • Study the compute-shader shadow tracing implementation as a base for a custom non-DXR plugin

4.5 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 7, 2026, 02:35 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 00:20–02:25: 57 → 58 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +48 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • The repository is 2 days old and already has 58 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Top new repositories this week: #194.
  • About 10 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
